Ik heb hier tot mijn verbazing op het forum nog geen post over Tua Rita gevonden, het wijndomein in de Toscaanse Maremma. Daarom dan maar zelf aangemaakt.
Hieronder een tekstje met inleiding over het domein (van hun eigen website) en hun korte beschrijving over de Perlato
Purchased in 1984, this winery is family-run, founded on Rita’s and Virgilio’s insistence of retreating to a quite place to spend their retirement by cultivating the land , their great passion.
It was exactly this enthusiasm that pushed them to concentrate their energies and means to exploit the great potential which this small plot of land was hiding.
The winery, located in Notri in Suvereto, lies approximately 100 meters above sea level and is made up of medium-textured, clayey lands, rich in micro-elements such as iron and zinc that distinguish the wines with “mineral regionality” and in which the international varieties find rather favourable environment.
It was thus by a lucky intuition that the couple planted Merlot and Cabernet, because by blending the two wines Giusto di Notri was born in 1992, which was instantly talked about in the national and international press for its depth and “Tuscanicity” encountered in the glass.
Later they decided to leave two barriques of Merlot and make them into wine without blending: in 1994 Redigaffi would become a cult wine, the first Italian wine to obtain a score of 100/100 from Robert Parker with its 2000 vintage , enabling Tua Rita to be added to the list of the 100 best wineries of the world according to the prestigious Revue du Vin de France.
An escalation of successes began for Tua Rita that over the years led it to expand and modernize the cellar. Thanks to the collaboration of their son-in-law Stefano Frascolla (owner of the winery of the same name ) and of oenologist Dr. Stefano Chioccioli the winery today extends over 50 Ha , of which 30 Ha are vines. Production stands at 110.000 bottles, spread among five red wines and two white ones.
Description
We could call the Perlato del Bosco a traditional wine cause is composed by a majority of Sangiovese, It is the typical Tuscan wine.
Harvest the first and third week of September, it is vinificated for 18 days with the traditional maceration’s system and aged for about 15 months in French barriques being used for the second and third time.
De Perlato is een moderne wijn, in 07 60% sangiovese en 40% cabernet. De samenstelling verandert wel elk jaar.
Robijnrood, zeer aantrekkelijke neus. In de mond zwarte bessen en wat rood fruit. Vol van smaak, internationaal getint met de cabernet in de mix. Kruiden en peper in de lange afdronk. Zeer aantgrekkelijke en vlotte wijn, alhoewxel hij krachtig genoeg is (en 14,5% alcohol).
Enkel de kurk is van inferieure kwaliteit: die was reeds bijna volledig doordrongen van de wijn.
Zeer goede wijn, maar wel internationale stijl (moet je van houden). Is gemaakt om een "crowdpleaser" te zijn. 90-91

kan de titel misschien aangepast worden naar Tua Rita? dan kan alles van dat huis hier geplaatst worden > 
(daarom ook niet te lang laten liggen)
en zijn 12 Euro (destijds) wel waard. Ook niet het gevoel trouwens dat hij versleten was...
